Power Automate to add/remove users from On-Premise AD

[pollyzzz1]

Is there a way to connect to On-Premise AD to add/remove users with Power Automate?

There's no connector available to connect to an on-premises AD directly through a gateway.  That leaves two potential options.

1) There is a connector for Azure AD.  So if your Azure AD is setup to sync both ways you can add/remove users in Azure AD and they will be created in the on-premises AD.

2) You can use Power Automate Desktop to add./remove users in the on-premises AD.   Then call the Desktop flow from a regular Power Automate flow.

If I use Desktop Flow, which connectors do I need to connect with onpremise AD? Thank you so much in advance!

You don't use connectors in Desktop Flow.  Desktop flow interacts directly with applications on your desktop by screen scraping and typing characters into prompts.  So you would use the regular AD Users and Computers application, but you can record a session and then turn it into a script where you can substitute input.

Hi, I am interested in trying both theory, can you provide a breakdown on how to achieve this? Firs time flow user here.
